KARACHI: Chhipa Welfare Trust has started distribution of necessary ration to citizens especially those in dire need but was compelled to conceal their needs due to self-esteem.

The distribution of ration is part of Chhipa Welfare trust's campaign 'Let us keep the stove burn'.
The packets of ration have been dispatched to residences of such people on Tuesday.

In this regard, Chhipa Welfare Trust had appealed to the philanthropists to come forward with necessary goods and donations so as to meet the requirements and help the needy people with respect.

The citizens and the philanthropists had offered their donations and provided with essential commodities for the cause.

Till date, around 1,115 deserving people have been delivered ration, cash and other goods during last three days.

In this regard, first shipment to certain addresses was made on Tuesday while Chhipa ambulances were used for the purpose. A large number of representatives of non-governmental organisation were present and lauded Chhipa Welfare Trust for carrying out such jobs for the cause of humanity.

Meanwhile, Chhipa Welfare trust's patron-in-chief Ramzan Chhipa said that under the campaign, those who had preferred to die instead of begging charity for livelihood were selected and thus were helped secretly.

He said that these people have reached a stage of despondency due to hard circumstances and illnesses that caused limb deformity thus preventing their physical movement for respectable means of bread and butter.

He appealed to the citizens and the philanthropists to help Chhipa Welfare Trust to take care of such people with their donations.

He said that those visiting Chhipa Welfare trust’s headquarters alongwith donations and other essential commodities should collect receipt so as to ensure transparency in dealings.
